30w ago - Following up on Sony's PS Vita 3.18 OFW release and the Z.H.P. Usermode Exploit for PS Vita 3.18 Firmware, today Freakler made available a VHBL version for Skate Park City (EU) that works on PlayStation Vita 3.15 Firmware and below.

PS Vita system software update 3.18 coming soon, improves system software stability during use of some features.

Also, despite Sony trying to plug PS Vita homebrew exploits in Firmware update 3.18 it appears they are still be discovered for this latest revision as evidenced by this Z.H.P. Usermode Exploit for PS Vita 3.18 Firmware.

To quote: The exploit game MyStylist is currently still available at the PSN store (this will most likely change in the next 12-36 hours), but the developer of said VHBL, 173210, asked us to release the files by now.

Usually we wait until the game got removed, but not this time, feel free to download the files below.

The MyStylist Vita Half Byte Loader for Firmware 3.15

The exploit game MyStylist is only available at the Japanese PSN store, is 130 MegaBytes in size and costs 1.440 Yen.

The released files are the initial files for the MyStylist VHBL. The improved SNES supported files (see the video below) will be released in the...

40w ago - Following up on the PS Vita 3.15 System Software Update, today Wololo announced that the new exploited game by 173210 to run VHBL on Firmware 3.15 is MyStylist with details and a preview video below.

To quote: We announced a few weeks ago that we would release a new port of VHBL to firmware 3.15. VHBL is a homebrew loader for the PS Vita. It lets you run fan-made games and emulators on your PS Vita. In order to run, VHBL needs an “exploit” which requires users to purchase a specific game on the PSN Store. For more details on VHBL, check our VHBL page.

Developer 173210, famous for having ported VHBL to several game exploits in the past, is back at it with a new exploit, and he is kind enough to share his port with us. The game is only available on the Japanese store, and is unfortunately not compatible with the VitaTV.

However, 173210 believes that the exploit in this game cannot easily be patched by Sony, making it a somewhat unique exploit on the vita scene. 173210 had previously released such exploits for the game Pawapuro, but circumstances were different, as that game had already been removed from the PSN before he had announced the exploit.
